Chapter 147 Blood-stained Sword
The dazzling, bright red light column soared into the sky, and for a moment, the air in the entire bloody land was shaken. At the same time, Rhodes felt a strong, extremely pure aura suddenly emerged out of thin air, and even the originally noisy battlefield suddenly became quiet at this moment.
It was such a pure killing, destruction and destruction, as bright as a sword blade unsheathed, emitting cold and cold light, while announcing its existence to the world for its only purpose, destruction, killing, and destruction. Just being skimmed by that breath is enough to make people feel cold in their hearts. It was as if someone was holding a sword and pressing against their backs. At the next moment, the cold sword blade would mercilessly penetrate into the body, cut open the skin, penetrate the heart, and then destroy their existence in the cruelest, simplest and most terrible way.
"It's really damn."
Rhodes held the sword's hand and held it tightly. This was the first time he felt such a terrible and pure aura. There was no murderous intent in this aura, nor was there a special hostility towards something, but simply, just wanting to kill and destroy - can this kind of thing be considered an elf of the Holy Sword Card? Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but feel a headache. He could imagine that if he accepted such a card, his life would be difficult for him...
The aura was so strong that even the elves of the Moon Shadow Blade who had been through many battles gave up the enemy in front of them for a moment and looked vigilantly at the direction of the red light beam burst. The demons' reactions were even more intense. They even roared and gave up the original object of the battle, turned around and launched an attack on the place where the red light beam was. This was a very rare manifestation for demons who were chaotic by nature, allowing them to do something spontaneously while doing one thing.
"We'll get on!"
At this moment, Rhodes also quickly reacted, and the demons around him were still "refreshing". But more demons had given up attacking Rhodes and the others at this moment, and turned to the direction of the red light column. Rhodes naturally had no intention of escaping or standing next to the show. Taking advantage of his illness to kill him is the most correct choice at this moment. Since those idiots and demons left their backs so generously, wouldn't they be sorry for their kindness if they didn't accept this gift?
"All attack! Kill all these damn demons!"
Accompanied by Rhode's order, the elves of bow knights who were trembling with the demons, they quickly gathered together. In just a blink of an eye, they formed an inverted triangle formation with Rhode as the center. Behind them, Lasti stood quietly, the girl in a robe raised her tin staff high, and with her movements, the bow knights who either squat or fight also picked up the longbows in their hands. Aiming ahead, a bright light emerged from the tin staff, and the longbows connected to the bow knights unfolded in all directions.
And the next moment……………The boundless wave of light roared and enveloped the entire land of blood.
Hundreds of light arrows cut through the air, and easily tore the enemy in front of you, piercing through, countless demons died in an instant. The blue flames burned and rushed outwards. In just a blink of an eye, most of the demons who were originally surrounded by the crowd were wiped out, and even the smelly blood that had flowed to the ground was swallowed by the blue flames. However, most of the demons had been wiped out in just a long time.
"Come with me, and the others continue to fight."
This fierce attack temporarily cleared the road between Rhode and the red beam of light, so Rhode quickly issued an order, and then he led Anne and Lasti and more than 20 bow knights responsible for protection in front of him to move forward quickly. The other bow knights also quickly gathered together and began to sweep away the demons around who had reacted again due to attack.
But Rhode didn't expect that before he came to the door, the other party had already delivered the goods to his door.
Just as Rhode was about to come to the light column, suddenly, a sense of tremor and tension forced him to stop. Then Rhode did not hesitate at all, but instinctively raised the long sword in his hand and stepped forward in front of him. This had nothing to do with experience or judgment. It was entirely the instinct that had experienced countless battles on the battlefield, which had passed through his brain's inference at this moment, and directly manipulated his body.
At the same time, danger also appeared before Rhodes in a substantial form.
Just as Rhode's sword was lifted, the encirclement formed by the demons was suddenly torn apart, and a red light that galloped past erupted from the encirclement like a hurricane, rushing towards Rhode in front of him frantically. Faced with this sudden attack, Rhode was also stunned, but he still responded quickly. In just a blink of an eye, Rhode held the sword in his hand tightly and injected his soul power into it without reservation. Soon, a translucent shield flashing with soul light appeared on Rhode's body. Almost at the same time, the flashing bright red had also come to Rhode.
"boom!!!"
When Rhode came to his senses, he had already flown into the air, his eyes were filled with scenery flying backwards, and the sound of the whole world seemed to have been completely blocked at this moment, and it seemed so quiet. In just a moment, the sound came back again as if it was overwhelming.
"Captain!"
Accompanied by Anne's scream, Rhode only felt as if he had bumped into something soft, and then he barely stopped. When he finally stood up, he found that Anne was leaning behind him. The girl gritted her teeth and looked pale. The golden shield she was holding in her hand had long been thrown aside. Seeing Rhode standing up, Anne breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh... Commander, I didn't scare me to death. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine..."
Rhode whispered to Anne's question, but in fact, Rhode was also secretly shocked. You should know that although the attack just now suddenly caused him to respond hastily, Rhode had triggered his passive defense talent [Psychic Armor lv3] at that time. Not only that, Rhode also poured almost all the soul power he could allocate into the weapons in his hand to form a soul shield to resist the opponent's attack. But even in this state, he was still knocked away by the opponent's blow, and he had to rely on Anne to barely stabilize his body. Not only that, Rhode also found that his right hand holding Nightmare was so numb that he could hardly feel any touch!
The Holy Soul is on top, this Holy Sword card is a bit cheating!
Gritting his teeth, Rhode couldn't help but whisper deep in his heart. Last time he was so embarrassed, he was still fighting against the Demon Lord, but even the Demon Lord did not make his arms numb with just one blow. Moreover, he was only about level 40 at that time, and now he has entered the legendary realm! With that mysterious and strange bloodline, Rhode's power is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and he will actually be knocked away by one blow? The power of this Holy Sword card is a bit broken.
However, when Rhode raised his head and saw the true identity of the red light that attacked him, even he was stunned.
Just in front of Rhodes, on the mountain of corpses piled up by hundreds of demons, there was a man standing at this moment. He was wearing a standard armor that only soldiers in the army would wear, and looked up at himself pale and unhappy. But just a glance. Rhodes could know that it was not a human.
Because of the torn and chewed body, the internal organs of different colors that overflowed from the hollow abdomen, and the arms and shoulders that were "disconnected" were not standing there with straightness, no one would have thought that this person was still alive. But what is strange is that since he was really standing there like this, he was really standing there like this. Not only that, blood was slowly flowing out in his body, but in fact, if it flowed like this, it would probably only take a few dozen seconds for his body to flow without blood.
However, what attracted Rhodes' attention even more was the bright red giant sword he held.
The sword is more than two meters long, and the huge sword body is completely made of some bright red material. A golden pattern can be seen on the huge two-handed sword. They spread out like waves, forming a beautiful, gorgeous and weird pattern. What makes people feel even more strange is that the sword obviously looks heavy, but the man actually held it with one hand, not seemingly heavy at all. Not only that, in the hilt of the sword, several thick chains can be seen stretching out from the cage hand and wrapped tightly on the man's right arm. From the unnaturally raised under the man's arm, it can be seen that these chains even penetrated the skin directly and had penetrated deeply into his body.
But at this moment, suddenly, a few screams came from Rhodes.
"team leader!"
"What's going on? How did you become like this?"
"You know him?"
Hearing the shouts, Rhode turned his head curiously, and saw that not far away from him, the soldiers of the patrol were staring at the man in front of him in surprise. They widened their eyes, obviously unable to accept this fact. When he heard Rhode's inquiry, the man in the lead swallowed and nodded reluctantly.
"Yes, sir, that person used to be our captain. This time we came with you just to find him, but... how could he become like this..."
"Is that sword his?"
Rhodes was not interested in the man's life experience, and for him, that sword was the most important thing.
"No, that sword... was when the captain was patrolling the abyss before... I heard that he found it from somewhere, by the way! That sword must be the curse of the devil! Since finding that sword, the captain seemed to have become a different person, and was disobedient all day long. In the end, he even left the team alone and ran into the bloody land without authorization! If it weren't for that sword......"
"I see."
Rhode interrupted the other party's words. Now he finally understood that this sword might be more troublesome than the nightmare in his hand. Although he also knew that most of the people who were qualified to enter the Holy Sword card were not fuel-efficient lamps, it was the first time that Rhode, a Holy Sword card elf who was so perverted, saw him. He raised the nightmare in his hand and then activated the soul power. Soon, Rhode felt the familiar aura.
"Celestina, alive?"
"You're not talking nonsense, master."
Soon, Rhode got Selestina's impatient answer.
"How much do you know about this summoned elf?"
"You can understand it if you want to understand it, but your luck is really bad. If you meet Silos, you will be unlucky. Now that the third sister is not here, no one can surrender her here, you can only ask for good fortune. Although Silos is still a bit of face to Sister Gray Hill and Sister Madalas, if you want her to be obedient, you should go on it yourself."
“Geeh………………!!”
Just as Rod and Selestina were having soul communication, suddenly, the man standing on the mountain of corpses made a strange laugh. The laughter was neither a man nor a woman. He was not like an old man nor a child. He was strange and low, and he didn't even need any keen nerves. As long as he was present and had a rational life, he could feel the confusion and madness in it. And what came with this strange laughter came was the clear and beautiful voice of a girl like a stream flowing.
"I found you, Selestina, my lovely sister, why are you here? Do you want to play with your sister? You are really a spoiled sister, you really can't do anything about you. What do you plan to do if I win this time? Are you ready? Have you decided? Do you want your sister's reward? What a greedy child, will your sister treat you very gently this time?"
"I will never be cut off my wings by you again!"
“……………………………………………………”
Rhode suddenly felt that it might be a very bad idea to take out the nightmare. I wonder if it was still too late to change to Celia now... Just from Celestina's angry voice, you can tell that she must have lost to the holy sword elf named Xilos in front of her before.
And more than once.
“—————!!”
But it is not a chat now. At this moment, perhaps because he is unwilling to be ignored, or he can no longer bear the strange murderous aura, a demon roared over, and raised his hands high. The burning flames burst out from its palms, and then the demon opened his bloody mouth and rushed towards the prey in front of him. However, it did not expect that what it faced would be a more cruel battle than death.
"Swish!"
Just as the tall demon rushed forward, the huge bright red sword suddenly shone brightly. Then the man who was already like a rag all over his body suddenly flashed to the side with agility that was completely inconsistent with his current physical condition. Then a bright red crescent moon was slashed down. Then the giant sword easily cut off the demon's left hand like a cake. Suddenly, the demon who was severely injured suddenly howled, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the prey in front of him. But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The chain that was originally tied to the man's right arm suddenly exploded, flying towards the sky as if he had self-consciousness. Then the hard black iron chain easily tied the demon's body. Then the man just pulled it gently and saw the demon who was originally in the air being pulled directly to the ground with a "boom". However, this was just the beginning of its tragic fate, because when the unlucky demon raised his head, the only thing it saw was a black shadow appearing in front of him.
"puff."
Without any hesitation, the man turned the giant sword in his hand and then smashed the demon's head directly with the hilt. The hard and black head sank like a broken egg. The smelly and weird liquid sprayed out from it, sprinkling the man's body, but he didn't care about it. On the contrary, the man raised the giant sword in his hand with a grim smile and smashed it down hard again.
"boom!!"
A huge force burst out, bombing the other three demons who were trying to sneak attack away. At this time, the man slowly stood up. He turned around and looked at Rhode again, regardless of the disgusting demon blood and flesh that he had cracked the mouth that had half of his chin corroded by the demon blood, and an ugly smile appeared.
"…………………Celestina, I won't be like that with that sword."
"I regret it now? Do you think you have any other choice?"
"I'm just asking casually."
Although the other party didn't say a word, when Rhode raised his sword and pointed it at him, he understood the meaning of the holy sword elf in front of him. If you want to be my master, then go through my test first.
"Anne, Lasti, you take the others to sweep the demon next to you, and this guy will be handed over to me."
"Okay, leader, come on."
Hearing Rhode's order, Anne looked at the man curiously, then patted Rhode's shoulder. Lasti quietly took a half step back and owed slightly to Rhode.
"I understand, Lord Lord."
Rhode raised his sword and quietly stared at the enemy in front of him. He walked slowly forward and slowly walked forward. However, Rhode's eyes did not look at the man, but at the bright red giant sword in his hand. From the man's battle against the demon just now, Rhode had already noticed that the man (or directly the corpse) was just a puppet puppet controlled by the giant sword, and tried to analyze from his movements that the other party's next move was meaningless behavior. Since that was the case, he could only make a judgment based on his own experience.
Rhode stared at the bright red giant sword. At this moment, he had raised his senses to an unprecedented level. The battle between the demons and the bow knights around him had been completely blocked by him. The summoning elf in front of him was very violent and very powerful. Rhode was sure that if he was distracted, he would be defeated immediately. As for whether he could survive, it depends on whether the other party could show mercy.
However, in connection with the battle just now, Rhode felt that even if the other party showed mercy, it would be limited... It would be up to him.
A red light flashed.
While Rhode saw the red light shining, a strong sense of fear and trembling instantly filled his body. He retreated back almost without hesitation. Then, a strong impact force suddenly burst out in front of Rhode, and the dust scattered, and a strong shock wave hit him. Rhode turned his body sideways and pushed forward the black sword in his hand.
“—————!!”
Accompanied by the friction, the bright red blade that emerged from the dust flashed through the pitch-black sword, and a series of bright sparks emerged in the air. Rhode took a step back, and then his whole body shook and disappeared into the shadow of darkness. At the moment Rhode disappeared, a red light "boomed" across the rock where Rhode's shadow was, completely dividing the huge stone into two.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and the surroundings returned to peace for a moment. The man holding the giant sword stood there blankly, as if he was thinking about the next countermeasure.
And at this moment, the dark poisonous snake arrived leisurely.
"clang!!!"
Seeing that the black poisonous snake's sharp teeth were about to bite the target, the man suddenly turned around and slashed the huge two-handed sword in his hand, cutting the nightmare that had turned into a chain sword form to the side. Then the man suddenly ran forward, holding the bright red giant sword in his hand and pounced towards Rhode who appeared behind him at some time.
That's now!
Faced with the strong sword energy that was coming to his face, Rhode took a step back, then raised his left hand, and soon a card appeared in Rhode's hand.
【Summon: Netherworld Tentacles】
The dark shadow began to squirm, and then countless tentacles flew out of the shadow and tangled towards the target in front of them.
Chapter completed!
